The Athletic's Will Sammon reports the Mets are calling up top prospect A.J. Ewing from Triple-A Syracuse.

The Mets are calling up top prospect A.J. Ewing from Triple-A Syracuse to provide a spark for their struggling season.

With their season trending in the wrong direction, the Mets will turn to Ewing to provide a spark after just 12 games at the Triple-A level. The 21-year-old outfielder has gotten off to a phenomenal start this season in the upper minors, slashing .339/.447/.514 with two homers and 17 steals in 30 games. His top-of-the-scale speed makes him a weapon on the basepaths and should provide a pathway to immediate fantasy relevance following a 70-steal campaign last year in the minors. He's more of a line-drive hitter than an over-the-fence power threat but he projects as a top-of-the-order table-setter capable of hitting for average and stealing bases. He's at least worthy of a speculative roster spot in all fantasy formats.

Left Leg Cramp · Day-to-Day

Chandler Simpson was removed from Monday's game against the Blue Jays with a left leg cramp.

Chandler Simpson was removed from Monday's game against the Blue Jays in the eighth inning due to a left leg cramp, though it does not appear to be a significant concern.

Rays manager Kevin Cash told reporters Simpson was lifted for a defensive replacement in the eighth inning due to some left leg cramping after going 3-for-5 with three runs scored and a pair of stolen bases out of the leadoff spot. It doesn't sound like a significant concern. The 25-year-old's speed caused some serious chaos on the basepaths for Toronto all night, but he put on a masterclass in the fourth inning when he reached on an infield single and advanced on a balk before scoring on an errant throw after swiping third base. He's up to 14 steals through 40 games.

Left Side Discomfort · Day-to-Day

Rangers manager Skip Schumaker told reporters Nathan Eovaldi is day-to-day with left side discomfort.

Nathan Eovaldi is day-to-day with left side discomfort and is optimistic to avoid the injured list.

It's a bit unclear when Eovaldi will start next, but there's optimism he isn't facing an extended absence, and could potentially avoid a trip to the injured list. It's an extremely encouraging development after the 36-year-old veteran was scratched from Monday's scheduled start against the Diamondbacks with left side tightness. There should be a more definitive update from the club on his status in the coming days once he resumes throwing.

Andres Gimenez launched two homers and tallied five RBI on Monday in a loss to the Rays.

Andres Gimenez hit two home runs and drove in five runs in a loss to the Rays, recording his first multi-homer game of his career.

Gimenez took Rays starter Drew Rasmussen deep for a three-run homer in the second inning before repeating the feat against reliever Ian Seymour in the seventh to record the first multi-homer performance of his career. The 27-year-old infielder was one of the few bright spots in this one as he was responsible for all five of Toronto's runs in a losing effort. He's up to five round-trippers already through 38 games after mustering only seven across 101 contests last year in his Blue Jays debut.

Jonathan Aranda went 2-for-3 with a solo homer and three RBI to lead the Rays to an 8-5 victory over the Blue Jays, continuing his hot streak.

Aranda has been one of the more impactful middle-of-the-order run producers this season with a whopping 32 RBI through 40 contests. The 27-year-old first baseman delievered a sacrifice fly and a run-scoring single before taking Blue Jays starter Kevin Gausman deep in the fifth inning for his eighth round-tripper of the year. He's been on fire recently, hitting .346 (18-for-52) with two homers and 11 RBI over his last 15 games.

Kevin Gausman was torched for a season-high seven runs -- six earned -- over 4 2/3 innings on Monday in a loss to the Rays.

Kevin Gausman allowed a season-high seven runs over 4 2/3 innings in a loss to the Rays, though he did record his 2,000th career strikeout.

Gausman recorded his 2,000th career strikeout during an otherwise forgettable outing against the division-rival Rays where he surrendered 10 hits, including a solo homer to Jonathan Aranda. He managed to somewhat mitigate the damage by striking out five batters without issuing a walk. Still, it was a tough performance against a Rays lineup that isn't one of the more potent groups in the game. He'll attempt to rebound with a road matchup against the Tigers on Sunday.

Performance

Drew Rasmussen allowed three runs over six innings on Monday in a win over the Blue Jays.

Drew Rasmussen pitched six innings allowing three runs in a win over the Blue Jays, continuing his consistent start to the season.

Rasmussen surrendered a three-run shot to Andres Gimenez in the third inning, but managed to keep Toronto's lineup scoreless otherwise. He struck out six and only handed out one free pass. The 30-year-old righty has been a model of consistency, allowing three earned runs or fewer while also completing five innings in seven of his eight starts to open the season. He'll wrap up a two-start week with a tasty home matchup against the Marlins on Sunday.

Performance

Bryan Baker fired a perfect ninth inning on Monday against the Blue Jays to notch his 11th save of the season.

Bryan Baker recorded a perfect ninth inning with his 11th save of the season, establishing himself as an unexpected relief ace contender.

Baker got the call to protect a three-run lead in the final frame and needed just 11 pitches (nine strikes) to slam the door. He struck out Myles Straw, got Ernie Clement to line out to center field and fanned Andres Gimenez to end it. The unheralded 31-year-old journeyman has converted 11 of 13 save opportunities this season and finds himself just one behind Padres relief ace Mason Miller for the league lead. Simply put, he's been an unexpected revelation for fantasy managers.

Coby Mayo hit a go-ahead three-run homer to lead the Orioles to a 3-2 comeback victory over the Yankees.

Mayo catapulted Baltimore ahead with a three-run blast off Yankees reliever Brent Headrick after they were completely flummoxed by lefty Ryan Weathers for six-plus frames to open the contest. It was his fourth long ball of the season and first time leaving the yard since April 24.

Performance

Joey Cantillo tossed six shutout innings on Monday in a win over the Angels.

Joey Cantillo pitched six shutout innings in Cleveland's win over the Angels, showcasing strong command and maintaining a solid 2.98 ERA on the season.

Cantillo was able to cruise to a relatively easy win, scattering five hits and one walk over six frames, after Cleveland's offense staked him to a one-touchdown lead by the fourth inning. He finished with four strikeouts and consistently pounded the zone, throwing 63 of 93 pitches for strikes. The 26-year-old lefty has allowed just one run combined over his previous two outings and holds a solid 2.98 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 41/20 K/BB ratio across 45 1/3 innings over nine starts. He'll wrap up a two-start week with a favorable home matchup against the Reds on Sunday.

Alek Manoah pitched five scoreless innings in relief against the Guardians, walking five batters while striking out two.

It's challenging to draw any conclusions from this outing since Manoah entered the contest with Los Angeles trailing by a touchdown in the fourth inning. He notched only two strikeouts and walked a staggering five batters. Amazingly, he managed to put five goose eggs on the scoreboard in the one-sided affair. His fastball velocity is starting to trend in the right direction, but he's not close to being a fantasy-relevant option yet. He's in line to take the ball on Sunday against the Dodgers. He's not a recommended fantasy option in that spot.

Ryan Weathers recorded nine strikeouts and was charged with two runs over 6 1/3 innings on Monday in a no-decision against the Orioles.

Ryan Weathers delivered an impressive pitching performance with nine strikeouts over 6 1/3 innings in a no-decision against the Orioles, nearly recording a no-hitter.

Weathers carried a no-hit bid into the seventh inning before finally relenting a leadoff single to Adley Rutschman and was lifted from the contest after issuing a free pass to Tyler O'Neill on his 101st pitch of the contest. The 26-year-old southpaw generated 15 swinging strikes and fell just shy of recording his second double-digit strikeout performance of his Yankees debut. Not too bad for someone who lost nearly 10 pounds due to a viral infection last week. He was forced to settle for a no-decision after Brent Headrick served up a go-ahead homer following his departure. He's certainly making it challenging for New York to consider moving him to the bullpen once Gerrit Cole (elbow) is ready to return in a couple weeks. He'll close out a two-start week with a favorable matchup against the crosstown Mets on Sunday.

Brandon Young was charged with two runs over 5 1/3 innings on Monday in a no-decision against the Yankees.

Brandon Young pitched 5 1/3 innings with two runs allowed in a no-decision against the Yankees, striking out five while allowing three walks.

Young was simply outdueled by his Yankees counterpart Ryan Weathers as a third-inning homer by Ben Rice accounted for all the damage against him in this one. He struck out five and issued three walks. Fortunately, Baltimore's offense rallied late to take him off the hook. The 27-year-old has held his own over the last few weeks, allowing three earned runs or fewer in three of four starts since joining Baltimore's rotation back on April 24. He'll face the Nationals to finish off a two-start week on Sunday.

Bryce Eldridge is benched for Monday's series opener against the Dodgers after homering in Saturday's loss, as he competes for playing time with Rafael Devers and Casey Schmitt.

Eldridge takes a seat for the second straight contest after homering during Saturday's blowout loss to the Pirates. The 21-year-old's path to everyday at-bats is complicated by the presence of both Rafael Devers and Casey Schmitt as he's started just four of seven contests since being called up last week from Triple-A. He possesses upper-echelon raw power, but is probably going to strike out too often, and also struggle to play enough to be an impactful fantasy contributor this season.

Teoscar Hernandez is batting eighth on Monday against the Giants.

Teoscar Hernandez is batting eighth for the Dodgers against the Giants due to a significant slump, hitting .192 over his last 15 games with no home runs since April 15.

Hernandez has been dropped to the lower-third of Dodgers manager Dave Roberts' lineup card for the second time in three games after hitting .192 (10-for-52) with zero homers over his last 15 games. The more alarming development is that he hasn't gone deep since April 15 and has just four round-trippers in 35 games overall. It's worth noting that the Dodgers have plenty of prospects waiting in the wings for their shot at the highest level should Hernandez continue struggling into the summer.

Basallo will get some additional time off to recover after being involved in a home-plate collision during Sunday's series finale against the Athletics.

The 33-year-old fantasy stalwart was hitting .179 (5-for-28) with two homers and seven RBI across eight games prior to the injury. He might need time to knock the metaphorical rust off after just a pair of minor league rehab contests following the lengthy layoff. However, his return should provide a massive boost for the Dodgers, and fantasy managers as well.

Shane Bieber (elbow) is scheduled to face hitters on Tuesday in a live batting practice session.

Shane Bieber is progressing through his recovery from elbow inflammation and is scheduled to face hitters in live batting practice before a minor league rehab assignment, with a potential season debut in June.

Bieber will face hitters a couple times before he's ready to head out on a minor league rehab assignment. The 30-year-old starter has been brought along slowly over the last few months after dealing with elbow inflammation over the offseason. There's a chance he's ready to make his season debut at some point in June.

Ankle - Peroneus Brevis · Season-Ending

Carlos Correa underwent season-ending ankle surgery after tearing the peroneus brevis tendon in his left ankle during pregame batting practice.

Technically, Correa tore the peroneus brevis tendon in his left ankle. The 31-year-old infielder suffered the injury during pregame batting practice last week. His absence means Isaac Paredes will handle the hot corner for the remainder of the year, which is undoubtedly a boost to his fantasy appeal.

Elbow · 15-Day IL

Blue Jays manager John Schneider said Addison Barger (elbow) underwent an MRI that didn't reveal any structural damage.

Addison Barger's MRI revealed no structural damage to his elbow, and he will receive a cortisone injection with a multi-week absence expected but no surgery anticipated.

It's the best possible outcome that Barger isn't dealing with any ligament damage after hitting the injured list with elbow inflammation. He'll receive an anti-inflammatory cortisone injection to address a joint issue and be shut down for a couple days. The 26-year-old corner outfielder is likely facing a multi-week absence, but it doesn't sound like surgery is on the table. There should be a definitive return timeline once he's cleared to ramp up baseball activities again.

Samuel Basallo is in the lineup at DH against the Yankees and has been hitting .382 with 2 homers and 9 RBI over his last 15 games.

It's notable that Basallo is getting an opportunity to face a lefty starter when Yankees southpaw Ryan Weathers takes the hill on Monday night. The 21-year-old backstop has been tearing the cover off the ball recently, hitting .382 (21-for-55) with two homers and nine RBI over his last 15 games. The fact that he's struck out 15 times and drawn exactly one free pass during that span is a concern, but he's finally starting to show off his ability to generate consistent hard contact, which was his trademark during his rise through Baltimore's system.

Caballero is out of the lineup for Monday's series opener against the Orioles, with Max Schuemann at shortstop in his place, after suffering the injury during Sunday's contest against Milwaukee. The 29-year-old speedster told reporters he's not concerned about a potential trip to the injured list, but that'll be determined by what imaging reveals. Fantasy managers should consider him day-to-day. A trip to the injured list would almost certainly bring Anthony Volpe back to the major. There should be an update on his status prior to Tuesday's contest.

Illness · Cleared

Ryan Weathers (illness) will start on Monday against the Orioles.

Ryan Weathers is cleared to start on Monday against the Orioles after recovering from an illness that caused him to miss his previous start.

Weathers is officially taking the ball on Monday night at Camden Yards after having his previous start pushed back due to an illness that caused him to lose nearly 10 pounds. The 26-year-old southpaw is a candidate to move to the bullpen with Carlos Rodon back in New York's rotation, and Gerrit Cole likely to return later this month. However, that's not an immediate concern. He'll close out a two-start week with a favorable matchup against the Mets this weekend.

Pinango was sent to Triple-A this weekend when Addison Barger returned from the IL despite hitting 423 (11-for-26) with four RBI in 10 games for the Blue Jays. With Barger now back in the IL with elbow inflammation, Pinango will come right back up and is an intriguing add in deeper formats.

Blue Jays designated LHP Eric Lauer for assignment.

The Toronto Blue Jays designated left-handed pitcher Eric Lauer for assignment after he struggled with a 6.69 ERA this season.

Lauer has been very outspoken about his dislike of the Blue Jays using an opener before him, but we guess he won't have to worry about that now. The left-hander has posted a 6.69 ERA this season and was no longer as effective as he showed himself to be in stretches last season. There's a chance another team claims him off waivers.

Rodriguez was waived in the offseason to make room for Cody Ponce, but was unclaimed on waivers and returned to the Blue Jays organization. He also didn't look great in spring training, but he has posted a 2.63 ERA, 1.17 WHIP, and 25/9 K/BB ratio in 13 2/3 innings at Triple-A. Our guess if he will fill the bulk relief role that Lauer had been used in. That makes him intriguing as a matchup-based add in deeper formats.

The Giants are reportedly looking to unload large contracts for players like Rafael Devers, Jung Hoo Lee, Willy Adames, and Matt Chapman as part of a potential rebuild.

The Giants made one big move already, sending Patrick Bailey to the Guardians, and it seems like that could just be one step in a full-on rebuild. All of Jung Hoo Lee ($85 million left on his contract), shortstop Willy Adames ($161 million remaining), first baseman Rafael Devers ($226.5 million remaining), and Matt Chapman ($125 million remaining) are owed plenty of money going forward, so the Giants could have plenty of interesting levers to pull as we get closer to the trade deadline.
